Priyanka Chopra has had a great 2012 with two Rs 100 crore films – Agneepath and Barfi! and an American pop album in her kitty. The babe has managed to remain in the news constantly – be it for her performance as the autistic Jhilmil, or for her friendship with Salman Khan. So it wasn’t a big surprise that she managed to receive 21.5 percent votes from BollywoodLife readers to win the title of the female rockstar of 2012.

The battle was a closely fought one. Kareena Kapoor (with 20.8 percent votes) and Sridevi (with 20. 4 percent votes) came really close to winning the title. After her big comeback with English Vinglish, Sri is now giving the current crop of actors a run for their money. Katrina Kaif, who is high on the success of Ek Tha Tiger and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, came fourth with 15.2 percent votes.

Vidya Balan, who impressed one and all with her performance in Kahaani earlier in the year, didn’t find much favour with our readers (12 percent votes). Deepika Padukone (7.6 percent) and Parineeti Chopra (2.5 percent) made it to the 6th and 7th spot respectively.

Let’s hope the fight for the top spot continues to get hotter in the coming year. Best of luck, ladies!

That’s the question everyone’s asking ever since she was spotted coming out of Sallu’s house at an unearthly hour. And we have the answer to it!

Rock chick Priyanka Chopra’s ever-changing equation with stud man Salman Khan (they were good friends since the Mujhse Shaadi Karoge days, but a few years later when PeeCee’s turned down Main Aur Mrs Khanna, their friendship soured) has always been under constant media scrutiny. So when tabloids splashed photographs of the Barfi! babe and the Tiger together – in conversation in the lobby area of Salman’s building – we weren’t surprised. And gossipmongers found fodder that would keep their fertile imagination active for a long time.

While some idle minds’ say PeeCee’s happy phase with Sallu miyaan is a result of her new-found friendship with the Arpita Khan, others insist the In My City singer is shifting her loyalties from her fave-costar Shahrukh Khan to his famous frenemy!

During the Barfi! promotions on a TV show, a visibly irritated Piggy Chops decided to end the speculation surrounding her equation with Salman. She says, “I have been friends with Arpita for the last seven years. I have always been to that house (Salman’s Galaxy apartment), many, many times actually, to be with her. And yes that night I happened to meet Sohail (Khan) and many other people. But they (media) only get a picture of us (Salman and her). It’s a cheap way of projecting what the media and paparazzi want to.”

She added further, “I have done so many shows (with Salman) and met him a million times in the last two years, but projecting it in a certain way is cheap!”

Meanwhile PeeCee has been making a constant display of her affection and adulation for SRK on Twitter. Remember she publicly acknowledged the Jab Tak Hai Jaansuperstar for being an inspiration for her Barfi! act? Probably, the babe is making sure that she is not projected as belonging to either of the two Khan camps.

And guess there’s nothing fishy about Priyanka’s dosti with either Salman or Shahrukh after all. It’s all peaches and roses or so it seems!
